There are definitely businesses using Linux on the desktop; however, the number is relatively small. Many more companies are evaluating Linux desktops with a pilot program to see how the transition from Windows goes; assuming the pilot goes well, they will consider a wider rollout.
With regard to which is the right distribution for you, there are a plethora of good choices. Red Hat, SUSE and Mandriva all have commercially-supported desktop-oriented products as well as community-based products. There are also other community distributions available like Debian, Gentoo and Ubuntu. All of them provide good and similar functionality.
